    Summary

    "This is ugly," Ilya mumbles, pouting like a child as he takes a hand and pulls the zipper of Shane's sweater down. "Why you cover up like this?"

    And before Shane's head could catch up, Ilyas stopped in his movement. Unwillingly, his hand gripped Shane's hips harder, jolting him forward and against the other's chest. A low growl from his throat made Shane's knees weak. Like nothing else, it scratched an itch deep inside him.

    "I-I need to tell you something before--", but he was interrupted by another growl.

    "What is this?" Ilya asks. Shane's head lulled back a bit as he bared his neck like an answer to Ilya's question. "Why do you smell?"

    "Bad?" Shane smiles to himself, fully aware that this probably wasn't the best time to joke. Ilya pulled back. Their eyes met, and Shane's inside sat on fire. The other's pupils were blown wide, and oh, now he could smell it too. Ilya's scent filled the air, thick and arousing as a response to Shane's own.

    Summary

    Refusing to let Ilya ruin his career by signing with Ottawa, Shane chooses to really give their relationship a try and moves to Boston to live with Ilya and become a Raider. What follows is enough public scrutiny and backlash from his team that it has him questioning if he made the right decision. Until moments with Ilya and the Raiders show him exactly why he chose correctly.

    Hayden’s eyes flickered to Shane as he sat on the bench, chewing on the edge of his mouth guard.

    “Don’t fucking look at him,” Ilya insisted as he bent down for the faceoff.

    “Excuse me?” Hayden mumbled, eyes darting back to him.

    “You heard me,” he retorted, his tone clipped. “He’s not your teammate anymore; he’s mine. If you think Marlow is a problem to your game, wait until you see what I will do to your team if you hurt anyone on mine again.”

    Hayden scoffed, dipping his head as he tried to focus on the game. Something about Ilya’s words still rang through his head though, sounding so definitive that he didn’t want to risk seeing what he was actually referring to when he said that.

    The puck dropped again, and Ilya stole it before he could comprehend how quickly it happened.

    Summary

    You are an exceptional and brilliant scientist, but you are unable to actually make an impact since the world is so dead set on shutting down intelligent women. That was, until, you met your PhD advisor, a brilliant woman who helped you finish your degree and break into the world of astrophysics.

    But she's dead now, and all she's left for you is a folder with a list of potential contacts of scientists who would be interested in your work. Interview One? Reed Richards Science Center.
